A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system. They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses.

September 7–9, 2025 | New York City, NY, USA. Neuron publishes outstanding research spanning all neuroscience sub-disciplines- from molecular, to systems-level, including cognitive and theoretical domains.

2022年2月28日 · Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals from your brain. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique....

2025年1月18日 · neuron, basic cell of the nervous system in vertebrates and most invertebrates from the level of the cnidarians (e.g., corals, jellyfish) upward. A typical neuron has a cell body containing a nucleus and two or more long fibres.

2024年1月16日 · A neuron is a nerve cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites (which receive signals), and an axon (which sends signals).

2023年7月24日 · Neurons are electrically excitable cells that transmit signals throughout the body. Neurons employ both electrical and chemical components in the transmission of information. Neurons are connected to other neurons at synapses and connected to effector organs or cells at neuroeffector junctions.

Neurons are the primary cells responsible for receiving and sending signals throughout the brain and nervous system. Like a person in a crowded room, each neuron can interact with others nearby, letting it direct and modify signals locally. Local signals can get passed on within groups of cells, permitting a signal to travel longer distances.

Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They receive and transmit signals to different parts of the body. This is carried out in both physical and electrical forms. There are several different types of neurons that facilitate the transmission of information.

2023年7月18日 · Neurons are responsible for carrying information throughout the human body. Using electrical and chemical signals, they help coordinate all of the necessary functions of life.

2024年3月28日 · Neuron is the basic unit of the nervous system. Read about the neuron structure and function with the help of a diagram along with the classification of neurons in this detailed overview.
